El análisis es ameno, profundo y lleno de detalles que hacen que uno vuelva a mirar la serie con otros ojos, descubriendo matices que quizá habían pasado desapercibidos.

  • So excited for this!

    So I have only listened to the trailer, but I’ve been doing a rewatch of The Mentalist, and am REALLY looking forward to diving into this podcast! Loved you both in the show!

    Update: I have now listened to all episodes, and I’m hooked! I can’t wait for the next season’s episodes to begin:-)

  • Really like it!

    I love the Mentalist and couldn’t believe it when I saw there was a re-watch pod, especially because I LOVE the actors. The only reason I’m docking one star is because there’s very little rewatch happening in terms of the plot of the show. I’d like to remember more about what actually happened in each episode. I’m only on episode eight so maybe that changes later in the season.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2E2: The Scarlet Letter. The Mentalist Rewatch
Q: Does it become a good character gateway for you? When you get on the head, you just go, I'm there now?
Righetti explains that Dorothy's hair, nails, makeup, clothes and shoes help her become the character, and she often needs at least some of the costume even for rehearsals.
S2E2: The Scarlet Letter. The Mentalist Rewatch
Q: How does that experience compare to your time on The Mentalist?
Righetti says Scarpetta and The Mentalist both involve crime scenes and serial-killer elements, but Dorothy is a very different character from Van Pelt. Dorothy is Scarpetta's sister and is not involved in the crime-solving work.
S1E3 (VIDEO): Red Tide. The Mentalist Rewatch (Leah Andrew)
Q: Leah, do you have a specific episode or even season that really sticks out in your mind from the show?
One that immediately comes to mind was a sort of a nice conflation of real life and art. Within a two-week period, I got married in real life and got married on the show.
S1E2 (AUDIO): Red Hair and Silver Tape. The Mentalist Rewatch (Amanda Righetti)
Q: Was there something you were directed to do or rolled with in the first few episodes that was not necessarily on the page to get to your character?
Yeah, some of the computer stuff in the beginning wasn't actually scripted; it was suggested to me during filming.
S1E2 (AUDIO): Red Hair and Silver Tape. The Mentalist Rewatch (Amanda Righetti)
Q: How do you feel about the show still having such a following 15 years after it started or 10 years after it finished?
I think it's a real testament to what Bruno and Chris put together. You know, a really great cast and a great crew and an amazing writing staff.
